Paper prints made in Niépce lifetime, from an heliographic plate

There are a certain number of paper prints made from Niépce’s plates after his death.They should not be confused with those made upon Niépce’s own request. One might find the list in P.Jay’s book “Niépce Genesis of an invention“ ( Niépce Genèse d’une invention).The bibliography of these prints is as follows : BSFPd ;BSFPe(117) ; BSFPf(XX and 294) ; BSFPj(59,60) ; BSFPj(60) ; Gpa(159, 159n°2, 160, 160n°5, 161) ; CBN(76f, 78b ) ; LAC(988n°2) ; catalogue n°S9 from Sotheby Gallery in London-october 1982 )
